"Robberies are rare in this area and I am hoping someone will have witnessed some unusual or suspicious activity on this particular evening and who may be able to help our investigation.

"I would particularly like to hear from anyone who recognises the description of the offender or who saw someone like this in the area on Friday night. Information like that, however small, could help us trace the people responsible."
